PPP KiloBitsSecondGrow

hey kilobit on first page what is that called attached to the to of submersible pump,and do you use it right through the grow or untill the roots reach the water,your power plant is growing faster then mine good luck.

I think it's called feed tubing or irrigation tubing, some shite like that. We could probably set the feed on a timer for say a few minutes every day. But, I just let it go till the end. That's what we did with the first grow. If interested let me know and I'll post the link.

Looking great still Kilo! My PPP was totally "fecking" thick and "shite" too. Real close nodeness.

If you notice the pics of Zena, there is a CLUMP in the middle of the plant under the main cola. Thats where all my close nodeness and shite was during my veg phase. Now its DENSE bro!! Like a rain forest!!

You like my camel toe?

thanks,i can work with the information you gave me,i just made a bucket system,im going to actually put one of the pp in it when its rooted,but i was just going to use an airstone and not the submersile pump in the bucket,do you think the growth is much quicker with the feeder and an airstone,thanks.

Again, that's what we used for the first grow. Mentioned it before, you can put the feeder system on a timer for a few minutes every day, we just let run until harvest. The airstone is what oxygenates the roots, helps with plowing the nutes to her also. Yeah, you'll notice how much faster she grows once the roots hit the water and oxygenation occurs..

Ok, here we go with another update baby, Day 28. Today we have changed the water and added a fresh batch of nutes. To those just starting to follow this, we will be changing the water and nutes every Saturday until two weeks prior to harvest at which point water will be changed but no nutes added to flush Pam's system. Just a note, we did not flush the first grow, decided to flush this one and see what the differences are.

Shite load of pictures today so here we go.

1. Got tired of the fecking airstone turning over occasionally, so we decided to tie wrap the shite to the pump
2. like we said this enclosure is great, Pam is growing rapidly and we didn't have much more room to utilize the straps, so bam, move the shelf up one notch, fecking easy
3. roots, not the movie
4. we use another tub so Pam can dry her roots while we do some maintenance on the grow tub, we can also add the water and nutes before settling her back in.
5. just a pic of Pam chilling
6. the nutes
7. see how geenish the water becomes with the nutes? but never cloudy
8. the roots back in the grow tub, look how fecking thick they're getting and the water is back at the 6 gallon mark
9. she's back in her crib
10. closeup, look at the size of the fan leaves, holy shite
11. Pam's a little over 10 inches, hoping she jumps overnight due to the water and nute change along with airing out the roots for 15 minutes
12. overhead shot, yeah overkill
13. not a great pic but Pam's stalks are thick son
14. it's a fecking jungle inside her
15. top macro
16. wanted show how we try and position the majority of the roots were the bubbles are concentrated, oxygenation baby.

Well, Pam went into the damp towels on Oct 25, today is Nov 22, what do you think? We think the shite is awesome and hope Pam keeps on growing healthy till harvest. Thinking at least three more weeks of veg before flowering, what say you?

Boney bro, how much more did Zena grow after flowering was initiated?

For now, Peace.

i love the close bunching,i get that with the t5,s,and yes i know this is a stealth cfl grow and your doing great,i was wondering though does it provide enough spaceing for clones,i was wondering if i put my mother power plant in the same system,do you think i may get better clone material from an hps,dont get me wrong i understand your situation ive read both your journals so this in no way is an insult.personally i like my t5,s for veg,yes hps is much faster,but that root growth and close nodes is unbeatable in the end result.thanks and keep up the work.

WOW THESE LOOK FECKING, GREAT, OH FECK NOW U'VE GOT ME FECKING SAYING IT! oh shite, wait dammit!!! lol they look awesome tho

when are u thinking about inducing flowering?

Never taken as an insult, I appreciate the participation.

Frankly, I really don't know about the HPS, I mean I know the theory, just haven't applied to anything. Same applies to cloning, I'm pretty much a noob. lol That's OK though everyone starts as an apprentice, it is a long journey to become a master. The bottom line is, if your HPS is putting out more lumens than 8400 in a 2 X 2 space, I think the growth rate and quality would improve considerably. I think. Remember a lot has to do with the genetics of the original seed. If it was good then your clones should be prosperus and grow very well in whatever medium or lighting you deem appropriate.

My first grow was from bag seed and the root system was no way near as thick as Pam's is already. Genetics? Everything else is the same. Also, I'm pretty sure the dual spectrum lighting comes into play here somewhere.

If I'm rambling it's cause I got high, because I got high, because I got high.

Ummm? Don't know yet. Waiting for some input from boneman as he's already been through a PPP veg stage with Zena. Pretty sure a minimu of three more weeks maybe four. Boneman says Zena is still growing and she's been flowering awhile now. So we'll see. Yee a right old feck. Shite lol

Now that I look at Bonemans grow, I may have to change my PPP out of the 1 gal pots their in now to something bigger. I'm definitely taking some clones here in a few weeks when things get taller.
I was gone for the weekend and all my plants got huge!

I'm kinda curious how long a good drying curing takes? How do you know when you're done curing the harvested buds? Does light have anything to do in this process as well?

The cure is the shite. I cured my first grow two weeks and you know it's going by the thc crystals that build up on the buds and on the side of the jar. Also, your smoke will be smooth as silk and smell divine. It fecking works. Yeah keep them hidden, keep them safe, keep them in the dark.

Well Pam is officially a month old today, yes a long month. Anyhow since Saturday she's grown two inches and spread another two inches as well. All her roots from the stalk are killa thick as are the stalk and branches, and she's as bushy as the prez. Overall she looks healthy, her first lower fan leaves are drying the feck up, but that was expected. We are not going to trim, we will wait for them to fall off, this is a personal preference. So here are a few of pics and later till the next update.

very bushy!! All looking great Kilo... its so sad mine are 2 weeks older and look nothing like yours

if you don't mind, I'd like to watch your lady grow..

=)

subscribed. will be checkin in ever-so-often.
and oh, btw, she is gorgeous. when are you starting flowering?

Welcome, glad you could attend.

Uhhhh? Really don't know yet. I'm going to give her at least another two weeks after Saturday 29th....but hey you never know.

Pam is PPP so don't know what might happen. Although boneman has a PPP in flowering as of this post. Go check his girl Zena out. She's a beaut and already flowering big time if not already done.

Talk at ya again. Peace

Definitely check Boneman's Zena out. She's huge!

I just checked my plants the other day and they grew so fast that some even reached up to a few of the cfls and burn their leaf tips. Amazing how fast PPP is!

I heard it's good karma or something to name your plants? I just call mine "the girlz". I could make up some names based on characteristics I see.

Hey loose, how about some more pics on your journal? Looking forward to seeing your PPP girlz.

I'll go take some now!

Day33 and aside from the dying lower fan leaves, and a fecking dry fan leaf I snapped when putting her back home, Pam is looking and eating healthy. We're giving her some air time while we change the water and nutes. Why so soon you ask? She consumed 2/3 of the water and nutes we put in on Saturday last. Feck, I think the snapped dry fan leaf will probably slow her growth for a couple of days. Shite, got to be more careful.
